Champions League Betting Tips and Preview Pt 2

Manchester United face a very tough task in their match against Olympiakos - a side that many would have expected the United of the Sir Alex Ferguson era to sweep aside easily - but now they are two goals down and looking likely to crash out of Europe in front of their own fans.

United are trading at a 1.5 margin to win this match while Olympiakos are available at 6.5 to get the result in what would surely throw significant question marks over the tenure of David Moyes. With United not looking likely to secure Champions League football through a Premier League finish (or even Europa League at this point), it’s going to be important to muster up a good finish this year. 

With a thorough rout by Liverpool over the weekend, you have to imagine that a loss in this match and a loss to Manchester City at the weekend would surely see the pressure become insurmountable and Moyes would likely be sacked immediately. 

The Greek side are a 1.40 price tag to secure qualification to the next round while David Moyes side are priced at 2.87 to manage their way through to the quarter final stages of the competition. Robin Van Persie is the outright favourite to score the first goal and he’s priced at 4.0 but his recent form has left a lot to be desired and the likes of Wayne Rooney or even Adnan Januzaj would be a better option for the opening strike. You’ll find Wayne Rooney at 5.0 and Januzaj at a 9.0 listing. 

Borussia Dortmund are favoured to topple Zenit St Petersburg in the other fixture that day with bookmakers pricing them around 1.33 to get the result. They are virtually assured of qualification thanks to the result from their last round with bookmakers offering up Zenit at a 21.0 price.
